Bjorn Pederson
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 82 balls (SR 61), then 50 to 100 in just 59 (SR 85) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
15 of 29 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.
0.78 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 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 27 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 74 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.89 per match.
- Batting
- 645 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 73.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.14 per match at 23.3, economy 3.98, strike rate 35.1.
