Benjamin Champion
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 37 balls (SR 135), then 50 to 100 in just 25 (SR 200) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Regional representative — 23 matches (+3.4)
- ● Body of work — 64 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 123.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 64 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 19 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 1,621 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 31.2, strike rate 82.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 35.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
