Matthew James Webb (15)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 67 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 18 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.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 67 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 32 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.88 per match at 16.8, economy 4.01, strike rate 25.1.
