Malcolm Cross
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 9 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
7 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.63 is excellent but a wicket every 69 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 122.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · 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 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- 256 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 32.0, strike rate 122.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.50 per match at 41.8, economy 3.63, strike rate 69.0.
