Patrick O'Brian
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.84 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.07 catches per match over 55 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 55). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.42 per match at 14.6, economy 6.84, strike rate 12.8.
