James Hodgson (29)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 40 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 40). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.74 per match at 19.6, economy 3.67, strike rate 32.1.
