Robert Foster
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 21 matches (+3.1)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.09 catches per match over 23 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.
Economy of 3.50 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 30.8 (frequently not out).
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 51 × 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 23). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- 466 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 30.8, strike rate 80.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 58.0 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.47 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
