Brian Usher (20)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 56 balls (SR 89), then 50 to 100 in just 43 (SR 116) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.23 dismissals per match across 40 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 123.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 875 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 51.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 38.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
