Matthew Lang (18)
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
24 of 31 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
74% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 33 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.7 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
