Jesse Thornton (21)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 77 balls (SR 65), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.18 dismissals per match across 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 767 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 20.5, strike rate 46.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 38.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
