James Esposito (28)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.89 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 35 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 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 35). 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
- Keeping: 27 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.89 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 8.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
