Nicholas Bailey (29)
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 27 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.17 dismissals per match across 36 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 21 · Club 9 · 4th grade 6). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.33 per match at 17.8, economy 3.40, strike rate 31.3.
