Hard Patel (22)
Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 22 matches (+8.8)
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.0 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.19.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 22). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.14 per match at 16.6, economy 3.19, strike rate 31.2.
