Clay Mulgrew
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 42 (SR 119) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.43 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.48 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 52.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 149.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 48 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 3 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 2,125 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 52.9, strike rate 64.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.16 per match at 23.5, economy 3.43, strike rate 41.1.
