Michael Batch
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 25 matches (+3.8)
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.04 catches per match over 25 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 25). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 21.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 41.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
