Marcus Lavender (30)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Going at 7.21 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.42 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 109.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 38 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 68 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 884 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 76.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 43.0 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.42 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
