Matthew Williams
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 2.04 per match at 17.3, economy 3.14, strike rate 33.1.
