Michael Bourne
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 13 matches (+1.9)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 5 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 7 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.50 per match at 33.3, economy 5.03, strike rate 39.8.
