Michael Cowan (32)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2 of 4 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.
0.18 dismissals per match across 11 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.64.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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 11). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 11 matches — 2.18 per match at 9.3, economy 2.64, strike rate 21.0.
