Dylan Mares
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 120 balls (SR 42), then 50 to 100 in just 59 (SR 85) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Regional representative — 9 matches (+1.3)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 53 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 25.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.65 per match at 32.5, economy 4.09, strike rate 47.6.
