Laurence Darlington (12)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.5 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 11 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.
Going at 5.61 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 18 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 16 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.33 per match at 45.8, economy 5.61, strike rate 49.0.
