David Bolster
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.52 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 102.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 42 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 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 42). 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: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 1,271 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 29.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.72 per match at 15.4, economy 3.12, strike rate 29.6.
