Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.7 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 6 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.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.22 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 27). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 3.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.38 per match at 24.2, economy 5.33, strike rate 27.2.
