MATTHEW BACON
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 40 matches — 1.55 per match at 25.3, economy 4.43, strike rate 34.3.
