Girish Ganesa Balaji (15)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
24 of 35 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.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 6 run outs (0 direct, 6 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.86 per match at 14.6, economy 4.12, strike rate 21.2.
