Syd D'Mello
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 16 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 73 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.4 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 73 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 36% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 90 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.27 per match at 20.7, economy 3.14, strike rate 39.6.
