Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2 of 4 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 23 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.40 per match at 25.2, economy 4.02, strike rate 37.5.
