Molly Penfold
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 12 matches (+1.8)
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.33 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 12 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 12). 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 21.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 12 matches — 1.42 per match at 16.8, economy 6.33, strike rate 15.9.
