Patrick Heptinstall (28)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 27% 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 16.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 26 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 25). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.57 per match at 16.2, economy 4.51, strike rate 21.5.
