Matthew Spark
A 204-strike-rate hundred off 46 balls.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
12 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.43 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 38.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 19 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 553 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 38.3, strike rate 75.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.20 per match at 25.9, economy 3.43, strike rate 45.3.
