Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 63 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 34 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 0.11 catches per match over 63 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 16% 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 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 63). 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: 7 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.64 per match at 10.8, economy 2.57, strike rate 25.3.
