Marcus Baker
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.65 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 22 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 22). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.65 per match at 32.7, economy 5.65, strike rate 34.7.
