Isaiah Button
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.38 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 36 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 9.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.28 per match at 18.2, economy 6.38, strike rate 17.2.
