James Weedon
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 51 balls (SR 98), then 50 to 100 in just 48 (SR 104) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 13 matches (+1.9)
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
9 of 18 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 0.13 catches per match over 15 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.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 91.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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
- ×0.20 for the level played (5th grade and below 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- 447 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 24.8, strike rate 91.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
