Joshua Richards (28)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 16 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.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.59 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 17 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 17). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 15.7 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
