Matthew Ippolito (18)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
29 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 53 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 72.2 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.54 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
