Finlay Ignatenko
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 19 matches (+2.9)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.23 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 33 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.21 for the level played (Club 3 · 5th grade and below 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.16 per match at 22.0, economy 3.23, strike rate 40.9.
