Sam Harding
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 63 balls (SR 79), then 50 to 100 in just 2 (SR 2500) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 8 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.75 per match.
- Batting
- 264 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 32.6, strike rate 86.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 17.3 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
