Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 27 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.3 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.87 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 34% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 42 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 9 × 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
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.68 per match at 26.7, economy 5.87, strike rate 27.3.
