Blake Bourke (30)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 21 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.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 27 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.99.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 27). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.56 per match at 18.9, economy 2.99, strike rate 37.9.
