Michael Palumbo (30)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 55 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 55). 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: 30 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.87 per match at 12.9, economy 3.22, strike rate 24.0.
