Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 35 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.33.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 57 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 57). 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: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.67 per match at 9.5, economy 2.33, strike rate 24.4.
