Jacob Montgomery
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 135 balls (SR 37), then 50 to 100 in just 72 (SR 69) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 72 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 72 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 1,948 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 82.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.94 per match at 22.7, economy 4.01, strike rate 34.0.
