James O'Brien Snr
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 6 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
4 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.80 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.8.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 6). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 164 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 32.8, strike rate 81.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 23.2 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 0.60 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
