Anthony Melnyk
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 123 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 53 (SR 94) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 16 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 61 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 157.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · Club 13 · 4th grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,126 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 50.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.24 per match at 18.5, economy 3.02, strike rate 36.7.
