Ryan McDonald
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 44 balls (SR 114), then 50 to 100 in just 37 (SR 135) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
8 of 11 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.95 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 65.7.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 103.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 146.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 20 matches (0.95 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 89 × 40% · Batting 95 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 20 matches — 1.15 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 826 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 65.7, strike rate 103.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
