Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 22 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 54 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.39 per match at 13.7, economy 3.81, strike rate 21.6.
