Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 48 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.49 per match at 19.4, economy 3.66, strike rate 31.7.
