Cole Jones
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 32 balls (SR 156), then 50 to 100 in just 25 (SR 200) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.26 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 95.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 35 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.29 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 712 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 95.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 12.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
