Matthew Schwartzel
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 66 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 58 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 47 catches in 66 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 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 66). 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
- Keeping: 45 catches + 5 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.77 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 32.3 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
