Mathew Walder
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 18 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.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.55.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 36 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 92 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 2.71 per match at 14.5, economy 2.55, strike rate 34.2.
