Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 9 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 5.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 14 matches — 0.79 per match at 14.6, economy 3.29, strike rate 26.7.
