Barry Kelson
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 21 matches (+3.1)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.0 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.04 catches per match over 28 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 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 3.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.85 per match at 24.5, economy 3.75, strike rate 39.1.
