Bailey Simpson (12)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 15 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.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 29 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.65 per match at 14.9, economy 3.36, strike rate 26.6.
