🥈 Yenuka Balasuriya (16)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 84 balls (SR 60), then 50 to 100 in just 75 (SR 67) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.30 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 103.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 10 catches + 6 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.38 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,020 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 56.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 76.8 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.58 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
