🥈 James Eccleston (22)
Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 15 matches (+2.2)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
4 of 7 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.72.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 17 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 2). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 23.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.15 per match at 9.8, economy 2.72, strike rate 21.6.
