Joshua Geldenhuys (13)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 40 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.26 per match at 12.7, economy 3.08, strike rate 24.7.
