Jonathon Ward (21)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 46 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 25.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
