Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.82 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 45 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 67.8 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
