Neil Morden
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 7 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 11% 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 10.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.57.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 38 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.80 per match at 10.3, economy 3.57, strike rate 17.3.
