Zachary Bess
Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 16 matches (+6.4)
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 13 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 15.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.28.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 16 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 13). 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
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 185 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 14.0, strike rate 60.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 2.20 per match at 15.2, economy 2.28, strike rate 40.0.
