Benjamin Thallon (20)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 65 balls (SR 77), then 50 to 100 in just 22 (SR 227) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Regional representative — 29 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.17 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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 (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 7 · 4th grade 21 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 1,132 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 24.4, strike rate 56.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 5.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
