James Mitchell (31)
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 55 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.32 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.46 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 57 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 24 · Club 2). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.17 per match at 25.2, economy 4.50, strike rate 33.5.
