Matt Johnson
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 31 balls (SR 161), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.74 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.81 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 125.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 47 matches (0.81 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 27 catches + 6 stumpings + 7 run outs (1 direct, 6 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.85 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,073 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 125.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.37 per match at 21.9, economy 5.74, strike rate 22.8.
