Roger Black
Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 30 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 14 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 0.09 catches per match over 33 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 33 matches — 0.91 per match at 20.6, economy 3.51, strike rate 35.1.
