Jayden Prendergast (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 52 balls (SR 96), then 50 to 100 in just 46 (SR 109) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
19 of 38 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 45 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.96 per match at 21.4, economy 4.92, strike rate 26.1.
