Shelby Grindlay
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 76 balls (SR 66), then 50 to 100 in just 44 (SR 114) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
13 of 21 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.
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
