Samuel Butler (18)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 48 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 49 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 49). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 30 wickets from 102.8 overs across 42 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.71 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
