Benjamin Oliver-Arnold (23)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 14 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 13.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 27). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 28 matches — 1.11 per match at 13.2, economy 2.95, strike rate 26.9.
