James Vallender (25)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.6 over 5 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 5 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.20 dismissals per match across 10 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 10). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 1.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.88 per match at 16.6, economy 3.48, strike rate 28.6.
