Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.1 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 8 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.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.16 dismissals per match across 51 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 3.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.00 per match at 17.9, economy 3.64, strike rate 29.5.
