Damian Lawless
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 23 matches (+3.4)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
10 of 20 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 443 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 74.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
