Saliya Saman
Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
- ● Genuine all-rounder — strong in both disciplines (+8)
Critical recommendations
8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.9.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 105.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.72.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 13 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 79 × 30% · Bowling 71 × 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
