Matthew Whitty
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 103 balls (SR 49), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Only 0.06 catches per match over 17 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.
9 of 11 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.22 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 33 × 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 17). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- 295 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 25.6, strike rate 66.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.47 per match at 19.3, economy 2.22, strike rate 52.0.
