Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 5 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.94 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 4 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 18.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 5 played) — 0.60 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
