Giles Drake (26)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.3 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 53 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 53). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 3.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.84 per match at 21.6, economy 5.43, strike rate 23.9.
