Tom Rankine
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 56 balls (SR 89), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
17 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 74 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 6 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.52 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 697 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 79.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 19.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
