Samuel Martin (16)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 65 balls (SR 77), then 50 to 100 in just 33 (SR 152) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
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.
0.73 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 117.
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 51 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 27 catches + 5 stumpings + 13 run outs (4 direct, 9 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.88 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 879 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 22.3, strike rate 68.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
