Joel Riccardi
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 33 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.3 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 53 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 15% 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 3.78.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 16 · 2nd grade 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 89 wickets in 53 matches — 1.68 per match at 23.0, economy 3.78, strike rate 36.6.
