Bailey Whelan (25)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.5 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.33 is excellent but a wicket every 57 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 33 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 21). 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: 23 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.79 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.79 per match at 31.9, economy 3.33, strike rate 57.4.
