Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 65 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
26 of 45 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.
Going at 6.17 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.20 dismissals per match across 65 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 88.7 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.45 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
