Callum Reader
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 144 balls (SR 35), then 50 to 100 in just 69 (SR 72) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.17 dismissals per match across 29 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 654 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 24.1, strike rate 54.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 6.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
