Matthew Gale
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 75 balls (SR 67), then 50 to 100 in just 55 (SR 91) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.44 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 30.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 18 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 369 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 30.1, strike rate 88.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.23 per match at 24.6, economy 3.41, strike rate 43.4.
