Josh Neill
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 99 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 31 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
- ×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 25 · 2nd grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 1,585 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 31.3, strike rate 51.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
