Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 16 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 0.04 catches per match over 25 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 20% 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 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.87 per match at 28.3, economy 5.42, strike rate 31.3.
