Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.88 is excellent but a wicket every 68 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.82 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 17 matches (0.82 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 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 17). 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
- Keeping: 9 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.65 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 26.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 68.5 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.46 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
