Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 47 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 47). 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: 18 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.50 per match at 16.1, economy 3.99, strike rate 24.1.
