Nicholas Wharton
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.60 is excellent but a wicket every 45 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 42 matches — 1.12 per match at 27.1, economy 3.60, strike rate 45.1.
