Arnold Fernando
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 40 balls (SR 125), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 68 balls (SR 74).
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
18 of 32 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 36 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 6 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.56 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 15.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
