Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 22 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
4 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 22). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 5.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 26 wickets from 125.0 overs across 20 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.30 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
