James Catlow-Elliott
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 92 balls (SR 54), then 50 to 100 in just 62 (SR 81) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 12 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 28 matches (+10.0)
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
31 of 38 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 47 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting 60 × 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
- ×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 774 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 14.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
