Sam Yaxley
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 56 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 18 catches + 7 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 9.2 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
