Simon Roberts
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 81 balls (SR 62), then 50 to 100 in just 33 (SR 152) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
- ● Genuine all-rounder — strong in both disciplines (+8)
Critical recommendations
12 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 39.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 113.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.79.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 73 × 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 19). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 672 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 39.1, strike rate 66.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 3.33 per match at 8.2, economy 1.79, strike rate 27.4.
