Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 33.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 38 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.74 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.55 per match at 15.4, economy 3.41, strike rate 27.2.
