Tom Deighton
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 119 balls (SR 42), then 50 to 100 in just 65 (SR 77) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 10 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 24 matches (+9.6)
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.84 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 43 matches (0.84 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 21 · Club 1 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 22 catches + 2 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.67 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 926 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 56.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.49 per match at 22.2, economy 4.42, strike rate 30.1.
