Chrisenthus Kahatapitikankanamalage
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 80 balls (SR 63), then 50 to 100 in just 71 (SR 70) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 30 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
29 of 41 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 151.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 45 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 21 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,123 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 14.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
