Cooper Watson (13)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 10 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 12 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.00 per match at 14.2, economy 5.36, strike rate 15.9.
