Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.0 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.6 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 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 36 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.23 for the level played (Club 36). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.52 per match at 19.1, economy 4.85, strike rate 23.6.
