James Gray
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 35 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 2.84 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.84.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 55 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (2nd grade 35 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 582 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 24.2, strike rate 54.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 101 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.94 per match at 20.0, economy 2.84, strike rate 42.2.
