James Willoughby
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.9 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.19 dismissals per match across 36 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.74 per match at 16.6, economy 3.53, strike rate 28.1.
