Ian Gordon
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 47 balls (SR 106), then 50 to 100 in just 28 (SR 179) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
11 of 15 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 17 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.3.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- 582 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 38.3, strike rate 100.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
