Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 26.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
13 of 25 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 12% 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 40 × 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 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: 9 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 17.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.21 per match at 23.1, economy 4.65, strike rate 29.7.
