Ben Howes (31)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 16 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 12). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.07 per match at 19.9, economy 3.41, strike rate 35.0.
