Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.6 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 35 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 7.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.53 per match at 17.4, economy 3.38, strike rate 30.8.
