Sam Yelland (13)
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.39.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 35 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 35 matches — 0.94 per match at 15.4, economy 3.39, strike rate 27.3.
