Craig Berger
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 75 balls (SR 67), then 50 to 100 in just 28 (SR 179) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.63 is excellent but a wicket every 68 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 52.4 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · Bowling 27 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 559 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 52.4, strike rate 94.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.50 per match at 41.1, economy 3.63, strike rate 68.0.
