Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 39.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 16 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.41 per match at 26.3, economy 4.03, strike rate 39.2.
