Stephen Best
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 8 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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 8). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.75 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
