Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 28 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.
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.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 42 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 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 42). 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: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.63 per match at 16.6, economy 3.38, strike rate 29.5.
