Sam Dawborn
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 60 balls (SR 83), then 50 to 100 in just 46 (SR 109) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 28 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
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 775 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 30.6, strike rate 87.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
