LUKE POLLARD (17)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 19 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.
1.2 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 6.43 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.06 catches per match over 48 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.74 per match at 18.6, economy 6.43, strike rate 17.3.
