Don Veale
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.51 is excellent but a wicket every 74 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 8 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 37.0 overs across 8 matches — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
