Alex Howard (33)
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 6 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.18 is excellent but a wicket every 132 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Only 2 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 6 matches (1.00 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 33 × 30% · Bowling 13 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 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 6 matches — 1.00 per match.
- Batting
- 25 runs in 2 innings, adjusted average 12.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 6 matches — 0.33 per match at 70.0, economy 3.18, strike rate 132.0.
