Matthew Farrow
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 26 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.
18 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.94.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 26). 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
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 2.16 per match at 11.5, economy 2.94, strike rate 23.5.
