Alex Cairns
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 18 matches (+7.2)
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.01 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 32 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 10 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 830 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 26.7, strike rate 50.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.12 per match at 25.6, economy 3.01, strike rate 51.0.
