Michael Wakefield
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 6 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.
Economy of 3.06 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 8). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 8 matches — 1.25 per match at 24.2, economy 3.06, strike rate 47.5.
