Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.6 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 16 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 23 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 23). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 5.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.58 per match at 18.6, economy 4.10, strike rate 27.3.
