Matthew Thompson (25)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
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.
Economy of 3.35 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 56 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 55). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.57 per match at 23.7, economy 3.35, strike rate 42.5.
