Sam Williams
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 101 balls (SR 50), then 50 to 100 in just 79 (SR 63) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 36 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 26.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.8 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
