Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 58 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
28 of 39 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 dismissals per match across 58 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.25 per match at 20.6, economy 3.95, strike rate 31.3.
