Danial Ahmed
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 113 balls (SR 44), then 50 to 100 in just 69 (SR 72) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.12 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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 17 · 4th grade 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 23.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 10.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
