Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 40% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 5.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 38.8 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.23 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
