Matthew WEAVER
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 26 balls (SR 192), then 50 to 100 in just 22 (SR 227) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 13 matches (+1.9)
- ● Body of work — 63 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
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.
0.49 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 — 3 hundred(s), best of 129.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 63 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 5 · Club 19 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 1,512 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 75.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.22 per match at 18.4, economy 4.85, strike rate 22.7.
