Matthew Cowan
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 28.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.09 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 32 matches (1.09 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 32 catches + 6 stumpings + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 32 matches — 1.34 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
