Blaize Irving-Holliday
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 17 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.20 for the level played (5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 25.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.44 per match at 19.0, economy 2.91, strike rate 39.2.
