Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.3 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 15 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 23% 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 17.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 40 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 40). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 40 matches — 1.60 per match at 17.5, economy 2.91, strike rate 36.1.
