Tharaka Sendanayake
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 82 balls (SR 61), then 50 to 100 in just 49 (SR 102) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 22 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Economy of 3.93 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 601 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 31.6, strike rate 89.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 22 matches — 0.95 per match at 27.3, economy 3.93, strike rate 41.7.
