Joshua Taylor-Thorpe
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 42 balls (SR 119), then 50 to 100 in just 31 (SR 161) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 28 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 15 catches + 0 stumpings + 7 run outs (1 direct, 6 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.79 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 650 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 69.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 30.8 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
