Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 47 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
22 of 38 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 56 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 11 run outs (2 direct, 9 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.03 per match at 13.4, economy 3.77, strike rate 21.3.
