Ashton Macdonald (18)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
23 of 40 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 20% 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 13.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.20 per match at 13.0, economy 3.22, strike rate 24.3.
