Matthew McGahey (31)
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 17 matches (+6.8)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.9 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 7 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Economy of 3.23 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 17 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 1.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.00 per match at 29.7, economy 3.23, strike rate 55.2.
