Hayden Finkelde (18)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 87 balls (SR 57), then 50 to 100 in just 67 (SR 75) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 48.5 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
