Thomas Couper (15)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 48 balls (SR 104), then 50 to 100 in just 39 (SR 128) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.71 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 55 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 19 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 31 catches + 4 stumpings + 19 run outs (2 direct, 17 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.98 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,101 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 26.6, strike rate 63.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 14.5 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
