James Long (19)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 23 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 28% 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 25 × 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 33). 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: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 49.0 overs across 22 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.64 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
