Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 36 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.72 per match at 22.8, economy 3.71, strike rate 36.9.
