Vihanga Nirwan
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.72 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 47 matches (0.72 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 13 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.77 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
