Michael Davis
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 80 balls (SR 63), then 50 to 100 in just 56 (SR 89) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
7 of 13 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 113.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 499 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 64.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 2.35 per match at 12.3, economy 3.11, strike rate 23.7.
