Mat Ludwig
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 67 balls (SR 75), then 50 to 100 in just 42 (SR 119) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.07 catches per match over 28 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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 123.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- 883 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 36.6, strike rate 81.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 10.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
