Joel Elsley
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 34 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.52 per match at 20.7, economy 4.34, strike rate 28.5.
