Nimesh Raninga
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 69 balls (SR 72), then 50 to 100 in just 47 (SR 106) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.15 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 122.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- 951 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 40.4, strike rate 64.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
