Colby Ward
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 10 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.15 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 29 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (State competition 10 · Club 19). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.14 per match at 27.3, economy 3.15, strike rate 52.0.
