Joshua Hicks
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 51 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 101.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 51). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 1,327 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 23.7, strike rate 101.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 80 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.74 per match at 21.0, economy 3.53, strike rate 35.8.
