Callum James (27)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 18 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 0.02 catches per match over 57 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 3 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 57). 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 57 matches — 0.02 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.59 per match at 12.7, economy 3.27, strike rate 23.3.
