James Bracey
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 107 balls (SR 47), then 50 to 100 in just 79 (SR 63) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 27 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
34 of 46 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
1.36 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 161.
- ✓ Safe hands — 68 catches in 50 matches (1.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 17 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 100 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · 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
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 62 catches + 17 stumpings + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 50 matches — 1.70 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,014 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 43.5, strike rate 77.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
