James Boyce
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 32 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.07 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.07.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.39 per match at 28.1, economy 3.07, strike rate 55.1.
