David Payne
Representative pathway — 10 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● First-class, BBL or international — 5 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Going at 8.22 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 14 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×1.00 for the level played (National competition 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 4 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 14 matches — 1.57 per match at 18.2, economy 8.22, strike rate 13.3.
