Craig Buchan
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 60.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 186.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 85 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 368 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 60.1, strike rate 60.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 11.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
