Daniel O'Brien
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 78 imported matches (+1.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 26 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 78 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.38 per match at 19.4, economy 3.70, strike rate 31.4.
