Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% 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 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.16 per match at 17.3, economy 3.65, strike rate 28.5.
