Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 33 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.
0.18 dismissals per match across 33 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 33). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.77 per match at 16.3, economy 3.03, strike rate 32.3.
