Brian Downing
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.5 over 5 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 3 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 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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: 5 innings at 2.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.40 per match at 13.3, economy 3.22, strike rate 24.8.
