Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.5 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 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 43). 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
- Keeping: 8 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.21 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.67 per match at 15.4, economy 4.15, strike rate 22.3.
