Josh Bayliss
An even hundred: each fifty took 31 balls (SR 161).
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 26 matches (+3.9)
- ● Body of work — 60 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.62 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.67 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 113.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 60 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 26 × 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 (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 3 · 4th grade 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.70 per match.
- Batting
- 1,301 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 21.7, strike rate 113.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.97 per match at 31.5, economy 3.62, strike rate 52.2.
