Luke O`Brien
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 60 balls (SR 83), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 74 balls (SR 68).
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 25 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.82 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (33.0) beats batting average (25.8) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 123.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 44 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 13 · Club 2 · 4th grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 653 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 25.8, strike rate 71.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 44 matches — 0.93 per match at 33.0, economy 3.82, strike rate 51.8.
