Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 43 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 15% 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 17.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 43). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.44 per match at 17.2, economy 3.29, strike rate 31.4.
