Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 16 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 14% 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 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 26 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 26 matches — 1.69 per match at 11.8, economy 3.30, strike rate 21.5.
