Joshua Baldwin
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 84 balls (SR 60), then 50 to 100 in just 51 (SR 98) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
9 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.68 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.44 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 122.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 16 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.25 for the level played (Club 8 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 284 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 25.6, strike rate 71.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 16 matches — 1.06 per match at 25.3, economy 3.68, strike rate 41.3.
