Joshua Buck (27)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.24 dismissals per match across 45 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.37.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 45). 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: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.18 per match at 14.0, economy 3.37, strike rate 25.0.
