Simon Thompson
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 60 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 28 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.
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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.44 per match at 19.1, economy 4.41, strike rate 25.9.
