Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 61 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.2 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 30 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 12% 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 16.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 86 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.48 per match at 16.0, economy 3.06, strike rate 31.5.
