Ray James (12)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 76 imported matches (+1.5)
Critical recommendations
0.41 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 30.9 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 76 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 19 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 18 catches + 13 stumpings + 19 run outs (3 direct, 16 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.66 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,262 runs in 67 innings, adjusted average 30.9, strike rate 92.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.68 per match at 15.0, economy 3.95, strike rate 22.8.
