Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
16 of 32 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.99 is excellent but a wicket every 62 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.19 dismissals per match across 32 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Bowling average (30.6) beats batting average (23.0) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.99.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 32). 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.
