James Ellis
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 7 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.32 per match at 16.4, economy 3.13, strike rate 31.5.
