Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.03 per match at 22.0, economy 3.76, strike rate 35.1.
