Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
7 of 12 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.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 37 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.86.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.11 per match at 17.0, economy 2.86, strike rate 35.6.
