Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.8 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 28% 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 11.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 74 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.20 per match at 11.6, economy 4.03, strike rate 17.3.
