William Howard (17)
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 16 matches (+6.4)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 21 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.
6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 17% 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 10.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.35.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (State competition 3 · Rep Div 1 13 · Club 5). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 177 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 19.7, strike rate 74.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 21 matches — 1.38 per match at 10.1, economy 2.35, strike rate 25.8.
