Gary Mills
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 39 (SR 128) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
14 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.63 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 32.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 24 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 1 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 635 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 94.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
