Joshua Stroud (19)
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 71 balls (SR 70), then 50 to 100 in just 54 (SR 93) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.91 per match at 23.6, economy 4.09, strike rate 34.7.
