Sam Shepherd
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 41 balls (SR 122), then 50 to 100 in just 20 (SR 250) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 4 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
2 of 3 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.4.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 140.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 86 × 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 4). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 4 matches — 0.75 per match.
- Batting
- 139 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 43.4, strike rate 140.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 11.2 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 4 played) — 1.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
