Riley Pickering
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 133 balls (SR 38), then 50 to 100 in just 76 (SR 66) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 36.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 35 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 26.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
