Craig Patterson
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 23 matches (+3.4)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.37 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 52 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 15 catches + 4 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.44 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 24.3 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
