Brandon Ghirardi
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 54 (SR 93) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
30 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.68 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 37 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 78 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 1,358 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 36.7, strike rate 76.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 68.0 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.67 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
