Matt Howarth
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.3 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 9 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 44 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 5.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.00 per match at 26.0, economy 5.39, strike rate 29.0.
