Tom Burton
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 89 balls (SR 56), then 50 to 100 in just 64 (SR 78) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
30 of 42 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 6% of 50+ scores become hundreds (15 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.54 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 36.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.04.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 48 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 1,567 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 36.7, strike rate 80.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.45 per match at 17.3, economy 3.04, strike rate 34.1.
