Matthew FORD (17)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
7 of 10 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 21). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 21 matches — 0.71 per match at 16.5, economy 3.94, strike rate 25.2.
