Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 17 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.50 per match at 16.6, economy 3.29, strike rate 30.3.
