Thimath Basnayake (15)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 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.
0.9 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.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 32 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.65 per match at 20.9, economy 4.91, strike rate 25.5.
