Sam Anderson (19)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 82 balls (SR 61), then 50 to 100 in just 46 (SR 109) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 10 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 18 matches (+7.2)
- ● Regional representative — 11 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
32 of 44 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 123.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 56 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · 3rd grade 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 1,302 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 29.0, strike rate 68.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.21 per match at 22.7, economy 3.47, strike rate 39.3.
