Blake Simpson (28)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 17 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.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 34 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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 34). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.04 per match at 19.1, economy 3.83, strike rate 29.9.
