Alexander Pillay (17)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 71 balls (SR 70), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 24 matches (+9.6)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 52 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 62 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 20 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 44 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 12 run outs (1 direct, 11 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 1,115 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 78.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 9.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
