John Spencer
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 59 balls (SR 85), then 50 to 100 in just 33 (SR 152) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 71 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
49 of 65 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.24 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 136.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 16 catches + 1 stumpings + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.32 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,481 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 85.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 37.3 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
