🥈 Aidan Ball (18)
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 14 matches (+2.1)
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
1.2 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 97.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · 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: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 700 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 97.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.28 per match at 41.5, economy 4.46, strike rate 55.8.
