Josh Balon
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.16 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 8 matches — 1.00 per match at 26.5, economy 3.16, strike rate 50.3.
