Mathew Burns
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 78 imported matches (+1.6)
Critical recommendations
52 of 69 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 102.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 78 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 78). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 41 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 2,044 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 102.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.27 per match at 21.1, economy 3.70, strike rate 34.2.
