KOBY BLIGHT (17)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 58 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.83 per match at 17.9, economy 3.59, strike rate 30.0.
