Kumar Venkataiah
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.85 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 13.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
