Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.27.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 33 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 33). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.69 per match at 12.6, economy 2.27, strike rate 33.3.
