Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
17 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% 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 14.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.33.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 21.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.62 per match at 14.6, economy 3.33, strike rate 26.3.
