Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.83 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 35 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.55 per match at 27.2, economy 2.83, strike rate 57.7.
