Ahmed Badat
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 96 balls (SR 52), then 50 to 100 in just 32 (SR 156) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 22 matches (+3.3)
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 22 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 17% 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 100.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 53 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (3rd grade 14 · 4th grade 8). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- 503 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 50.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 17.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
