Dinesh Kumar Pasumpon Pandian
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.0 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 12 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.
0.41 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 14.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 27 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.67 per match at 14.8, economy 4.29, strike rate 20.7.
