Chris Shakespeare (30)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.03 catches per match over 30 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 13% 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 7.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.25.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 36 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 28). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- 329 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 19.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.08 per match at 7.6, economy 2.25, strike rate 20.2.
