Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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 39). 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: 6 catches + 2 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.23 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 41.0 overs across 18 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
