Darren Gregory
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 75 balls (SR 67), then 50 to 100 in just 64 (SR 78) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 24 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 44.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 156.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 89 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 1,031 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 44.5, strike rate 92.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.82 per match at 12.5, economy 3.15, strike rate 23.9.
