Riley Foster (23)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 50 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.15 per match at 22.8, economy 3.86, strike rate 35.4.
