Sam Pollock (24)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 70 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.44 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 153.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 70 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 1,645 runs in 72 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 47.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 76.8 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
