Zander Kestel (12)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
5 of 9 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.
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 103.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.19.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 23 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 367 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 25.7, strike rate 103.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 23 matches — 1.04 per match at 8.5, economy 3.19, strike rate 15.9.
