Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.3 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 32 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 23% 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 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 7.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.71 per match at 24.1, economy 4.25, strike rate 34.0.
