David Niumataiwalu
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 14 matches (+2.1)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.48 is excellent but a wicket every 72 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 14 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 23 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 8). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 14 matches — 0.57 per match at 41.8, economy 3.48, strike rate 72.0.
