Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 8 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 18% 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 17.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.52 per match at 17.6, economy 4.29, strike rate 24.6.
