Sam Palumbo (28)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.5 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.69.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 26). 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: 6 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.64 per match at 13.8, economy 2.69, strike rate 30.7.
