🥈 Paddy Short (17)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
4 of 7 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.
1.5 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 147 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 19.1, strike rate 71.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 2.43 per match at 9.5, economy 4.50, strike rate 12.7.
