Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 40 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.65 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.66 per match at 11.6, economy 3.17, strike rate 21.9.
