Josaia Baba
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 11 matches (+4.4)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.77 for the level played (State competition 11 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.33 per match at 57.5, economy 4.79, strike rate 72.0.
