Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.24 dismissals per match across 25 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.86 per match at 16.5, economy 4.47, strike rate 22.1.
