Richard Giordano
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 67 balls (SR 75), then 50 to 100 in just 24 (SR 208) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 125.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 68 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 1,416 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 21.9, strike rate 83.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
