Liam Naylor
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 59 balls (SR 85), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 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.
17 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.9.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 125.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 2 8 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 762 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 38.9, strike rate 93.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.33 per match at 25.2, economy 4.36, strike rate 34.7.
