Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.14 catches per match over 42 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 16% 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 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.12 per match at 14.2, economy 3.79, strike rate 22.5.
