James Clay (29)
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.0 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 10 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 10). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 10 matches — 0.90 per match at 14.8, economy 2.77, strike rate 32.0.
