David Velardo
An even hundred: each fifty took 39 balls (SR 128).
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
- ● Genuine all-rounder — strong in both disciplines (+8)
Critical recommendations
5 of 8 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 141.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 141.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 10 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 87 × 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.70 per match.
- Batting
- 211 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 26.4, strike rate 141.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
