Riley O'Brien
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 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.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.02 per match at 16.2, economy 3.38, strike rate 28.7.
