David Plumpton
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 19 matches (+7.6)
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
9 of 15 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.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 50.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 19 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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
- ×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 18 · 4th grade 1). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 820 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 50.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 38.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
