Jake Backhouse
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
20 of 32 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.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 55). 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: 11 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.75 per match at 11.8, economy 3.29, strike rate 21.5.
