Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 59 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 60 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
40 of 55 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.66 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 16.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 59 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.51 per match at 16.7, economy 3.35, strike rate 29.9.
