Drew Thomas
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 86 balls (SR 58), then 50 to 100 in just 81 (SR 62) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 59 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 59 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
