Michael Forrester
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 99 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 63 (SR 79) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 154.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 13 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 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 13). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 355 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 27.2, strike rate 55.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.00 per match at 12.0, economy 3.43, strike rate 21.0.
