Oliver Critchley (15)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 67 balls (SR 75), then 50 to 100 in just 32 (SR 156) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 20 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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- 397 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 63.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.71 per match at 26.6, economy 5.32, strike rate 30.0.
