Joshua James (17)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
5 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.0 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 14 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 17 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 17). 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: 6 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.86 per match at 9.5, economy 3.93, strike rate 14.5.
