Simon O’Callaghan
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 66 balls (SR 76), then 50 to 100 in just 44 (SR 114) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.77 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.55 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 22 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 523 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 28.5, strike rate 81.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.85 per match at 28.8, economy 6.77, strike rate 25.5.
