Matthew Knapman
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 47 balls (SR 106), then 50 to 100 in just 32 (SR 156) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.12 catches per match over 17 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- 353 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 27.6, strike rate 92.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.88 per match at 12.2, economy 3.91, strike rate 18.7.
