James Anderson (25)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 30 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.97.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 41). 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: 12 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.14 per match at 9.4, economy 1.97, strike rate 28.6.
