Dean Burton
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 123 balls (SR 41), then 50 to 100 in just 44 (SR 114) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
8 of 9 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.61 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.20 dismissals per match across 10 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 37.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 79.0 overs across 10 matches — 0.90 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
