Deneth Rajapaksha (16)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 5 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 0.07 catches per match over 15 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 11% 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 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.45 per match at 43.6, economy 4.36, strike rate 60.0.
