Alex Chew
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 122 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 70 (SR 71) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 15 matches (+6.0)
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
25 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.54 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 132.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 37 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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
- ×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 12 · 2nd grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 710 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 20.1, strike rate 50.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 18.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
