Martin Sumner
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 73 balls (SR 68), then 50 to 100 in just 52 (SR 96) — more than double the tempo.

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 46 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 15 catches + 9 stumpings + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.63 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,200 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 53.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
