James Cuthbertson (23)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 72 balls (SR 69), then 50 to 100 in just 62 (SR 81) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
28 of 36 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.39.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 37 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 22.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.10 per match at 15.9, economy 3.39, strike rate 28.1.
