Darby Small (16)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 31 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 15 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 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 31). 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.52 per match at 21.1, economy 3.85, strike rate 32.8.
