Damien Byng
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 50 balls (SR 100), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 98.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 396 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 98.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.25 per match at 18.8, economy 4.72, strike rate 23.9.
