James Taylor
Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 9 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.95 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
7 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 9 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 46 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 9). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.78 per match.
- Batting
- 149 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 18.4, strike rate 123.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 39.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.88 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
