Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 5 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 2.85 is excellent but a wicket every 72 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 2). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 3 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 5 matches — 0.80 per match at 34.3, economy 2.85, strike rate 72.0.
