Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 50 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 52 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 52). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.67 per match at 18.4, economy 3.64, strike rate 30.3.
