Nathan Porter
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 51 balls (SR 98), then 50 to 100 in just 19 (SR 263) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 37.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 52 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
