Colin Appleby
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 57 balls (SR 88), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
7 of 11 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 14 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 345 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 30.6, strike rate 74.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.60 per match at 45.5, economy 4.39, strike rate 62.2.
