Ruan Swart
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 40 balls (SR 125), then 50 to 100 in just 19 (SR 263) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
13 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.76 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 113.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 21 matches (0.76 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.86 per match.
- Batting
- 591 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 32.2, strike rate 89.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 6.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
