Joshua Del Simone
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
Strike rate of 63.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
20 of 27 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 30 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (2nd grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 684 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 63.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 53.3 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
