Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.6 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 30% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.95 is excellent but a wicket every 57 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 33 × 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 13). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.67 per match at 37.5, economy 3.95, strike rate 57.0.
