Josh Manning
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 98 balls (SR 51), then 50 to 100 in just 96 (SR 52) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 31 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.52 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 41.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 124.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 48 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 1,849 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 41.2, strike rate 52.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
