Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 65 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.9 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 17 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.
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.17 dismissals per match across 65 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.78.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 2.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 135 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 2.18 per match at 12.7, economy 2.78, strike rate 27.3.
