Samuel Shortland
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.6 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 29 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.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 44 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.06 per match at 20.9, economy 3.57, strike rate 35.1.
