Joshua Benney
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 50 balls (SR 100), then 50 to 100 in just 26 (SR 192) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
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.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 29 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 21.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 67.7 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
