Wesley James (21)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.3 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 33 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 29). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 5.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.72 per match at 17.4, economy 3.60, strike rate 28.9.
