Alexander Hovelmann (18)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.1 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 45 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.92 per match at 14.7, economy 3.20, strike rate 27.6.
