Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.2 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 14 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 17% 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 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 24 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 24 matches — 1.38 per match at 15.9, economy 3.20, strike rate 29.8.
