Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.4 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 30 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.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 50 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 32% 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 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 50). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 3.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.84 per match at 14.3, economy 3.43, strike rate 25.0.
