Vihan Patel (12)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 21 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 14.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 21 matches — 0.95 per match at 14.1, economy 3.79, strike rate 22.3.
