Malinda Dissanayake (16)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 66 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.4 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 66 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.
Out for 0 in 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 3 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 3.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.56 per match at 27.3, economy 4.76, strike rate 34.4.
