Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 14 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 1.20 per match at 14.8, economy 2.85, strike rate 31.0.
