Billy-Jay Walker (15)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.64 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 11.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 14 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 14). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 14 matches — 1.00 per match at 11.4, economy 4.06, strike rate 16.8.
