Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 82 imported matches (+1.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.7 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 21 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 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.21 dismissals per match across 82 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 1.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 160 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 2.03 per match at 12.5, economy 3.16, strike rate 23.8.
