Matthew Grant
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 28 balls (SR 179), then 50 to 100 in just 21 (SR 238) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 49 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 775 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 19.0, strike rate 62.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 52 wickets from 274.8 overs across 42 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
