Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 25.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 8 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.75 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 4 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.83 per match at 12.0, economy 3.30, strike rate 21.8.
