Michael Lench
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 58 balls (SR 86), then 50 to 100 in just 17 (SR 294) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.00 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.53 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 52.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 139.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 17 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- 792 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 52.6, strike rate 85.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.75 per match at 23.2, economy 6.00, strike rate 23.2.
