Eric Herbert
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 59 balls (SR 85), then 50 to 100 in just 32 (SR 156) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
35 of 50 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 123.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 51 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,401 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 28.0, strike rate 123.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.24 per match at 26.4, economy 5.33, strike rate 29.8.
