Damien James
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 64 balls (SR 78), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
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
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · 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 19). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 417 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 69.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 9.2 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.21 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
