James Love (34)
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 17 matches (+6.8)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 28 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 11). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.31 per match at 20.6, economy 4.04, strike rate 30.6.
