Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 55 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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 55). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.62 per match at 18.5, economy 2.95, strike rate 37.6.
