Matthew Irvine dejong
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 107 balls (SR 47), then 50 to 100 in just 66 (SR 76) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.73 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 251 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 41.0, strike rate 48.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 1.00 per match at 25.5, economy 3.73, strike rate 41.0.
