Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.18 dismissals per match across 62 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.39.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 117 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.95 per match at 14.5, economy 3.39, strike rate 25.6.
