Lockyer Ward (17)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
17 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 25 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 597 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 79.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.64 per match at 12.8, economy 4.09, strike rate 18.7.
