Cooper Matheson (25)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 52 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 78 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 47). 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
- Keeping: 31 catches + 4 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.73 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 35.8 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
