BENJAMIN COLE (22)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 30 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.06.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 8 · Club 22). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.14 per match at 9.7, economy 2.06, strike rate 28.2.
