Joshua Roach
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 95 balls (SR 53), then 50 to 100 in just 49 (SR 102) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 12 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 25 matches (+10.0)
- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 63 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.92 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 129.
- ✓ Safe hands — 58 catches in 63 matches (0.92 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 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 (1st grade 19 · 2nd grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 1,852 runs in 63 innings, adjusted average 32.7, strike rate 54.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.22 per match at 17.8, economy 3.81, strike rate 28.0.
