Matthew Sheehan (21)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 107 balls (SR 47), then 50 to 100 in just 68 (SR 74) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 56 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 67.5 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
