Gareth Preece
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.90 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 10 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 26 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 22). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.27 per match at 9.6, economy 5.90, strike rate 9.8.
