Nicholas Machen (27)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 35% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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 37). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.88 per match at 15.4, economy 3.76, strike rate 24.5.
