Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.2 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 9 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 5.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.00 per match at 19.0, economy 5.17, strike rate 22.1.
