Ajay Mada
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 18 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 17.2.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 58 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 105 wickets in 58 matches — 1.81 per match at 17.2, economy 4.09, strike rate 25.2.
