Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 18 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 34 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.31.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 34). 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: 5 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 7.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.06 per match at 18.2, economy 3.31, strike rate 33.1.
