Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
0.56 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 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 16 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 16). 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: 7 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.00 per match at 11.1, economy 3.12, strike rate 21.4.
