Craig Johnson
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 56 balls (SR 89), then 50 to 100 in just 47 (SR 106) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
30 of 39 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 121.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.93.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 1,128 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 55.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.60 per match at 12.4, economy 2.93, strike rate 25.3.
