Edward Gaffey
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 31 balls (SR 161), then 50 to 100 in just 15 (SR 333) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
13 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 53.6.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 128.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 142.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 26 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 95 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,030 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 53.7, strike rate 128.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.92 per match at 21.8, economy 4.49, strike rate 29.2.
