James Hooper (20)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
3 of 4 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 10 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 8). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 99 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 20.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 10 matches — 0.90 per match at 16.9, economy 4.11, strike rate 24.7.
