Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 18 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 14 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.63.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 25 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 74 × 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 25). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 2.48 per match at 9.5, economy 2.63, strike rate 21.7.
