Bailey Macdonald (22)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 9 matches (+1.3)
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 2.85 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 19 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 16 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 10). 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: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 26.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.47 per match at 21.8, economy 2.85, strike rate 45.8.
