Darius D'Silva
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 93 balls (SR 54), then 50 to 100 in just 80 (SR 63) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 35 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.46 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.21 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 54.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 140.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 92 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 1,894 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 54.3, strike rate 66.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.39 per match at 24.3, economy 3.46, strike rate 42.1.
