Matthew Burton
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 34 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 2.59 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 49.3.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 183.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.59.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 40 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 99 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 30 · Club 6). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.42 per match.
