Ciaran Gardner
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 58 balls (SR 86), then 50 to 100 in just 23 (SR 217) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 276 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 27.4, strike rate 67.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.50 per match at 18.4, economy 4.86, strike rate 22.7.
