Gunasekaran Neelakantan (15)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 36 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 7.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.72.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 80 × 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 36). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.09 per match at 7.4, economy 2.72, strike rate 16.4.
