Nelita Pistorius (20)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 52 balls (SR 96), then 50 to 100 in just 37 (SR 135) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 56 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 170.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 81 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 1,066 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 22.5, strike rate 86.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 35.0 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
