Benjamin Jones
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 79 balls (SR 63), then 50 to 100 in just 40 (SR 125) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 18 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.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 24 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.75 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 20.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.19 per match at 17.4, economy 4.07, strike rate 25.6.
