Matthew Leipold
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 132 balls (SR 38), then 50 to 100 in just 32 (SR 156) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
20 of 27 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 2.85 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 46.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 145.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 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
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 1,266 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 46.1, strike rate 80.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 30 matches — 1.47 per match at 21.2, economy 2.85, strike rate 44.6.
