Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.35 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.15 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 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 27 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.18 per match at 23.4, economy 3.35, strike rate 41.8.
