Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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.
Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.96 per match at 28.8, economy 3.44, strike rate 50.1.
