MICHAEL LEA
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 20 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.
13 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.64 per match at 9.7, economy 3.44, strike rate 16.9.
