Jakob Linke
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 62 balls (SR 81), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 31 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 132.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 688 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 58.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 5.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
