Max Burton
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.81 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 61.9 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 20 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 87 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 743 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 61.9, strike rate 87.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 25.7 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.56 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
