Stephen Alderton
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 95 balls (SR 53), then 50 to 100 in just 73 (SR 68) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
8 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 139.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 481 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 41.7, strike rate 58.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
