Beau James (18)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 15 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
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 37 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 98.2 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.86 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
