Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.5 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 16 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 0.07 catches per match over 44 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.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 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 44). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 3.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.83 per match at 36.9, economy 5.13, strike rate 43.1.
