Alistair Howell
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 13 matches (+1.9)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 24 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. 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
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.17 per match at 16.5, economy 4.27, strike rate 23.1.
