Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 10 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.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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 12). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 99.7 overs across 12 matches — 1.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
