Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 34 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 26 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.
Going at 6.21 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 17 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.29 per match at 18.9, economy 6.21, strike rate 18.3.
