William Oldham
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 59 balls (SR 85), then 50 to 100 in just 46 (SR 109) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
18 of 29 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 0.07 catches per match over 30 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 74 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- 783 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 26.9, strike rate 59.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
