Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.8 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 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.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 43 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 43). 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: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.02 per match at 26.1, economy 5.06, strike rate 31.0.
