Dali McDONALD (26)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.0 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
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 11.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 46 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 46). 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: 14 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.85 per match at 11.6, economy 2.92, strike rate 23.8.
