Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.02 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 58 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 83 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.46 per match at 21.1, economy 3.02, strike rate 41.9.
