Montana Read
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 17 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.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 38 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 14% 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 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.03 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 21.0 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
