Luke Giddings
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 102 balls (SR 49), then 50 to 100 in just 55 (SR 91) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 91 imported matches (+1.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 115.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 1,806 runs in 92 innings, adjusted average 21.8, strike rate 49.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.3 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
