Aden Higgins (23)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 49 (SR 102) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
28 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 101.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 135.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 44 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 1,144 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 30.5, strike rate 101.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.13 per match at 23.0, economy 4.62, strike rate 29.8.
