Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 6 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
4 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.36 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 6). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 39.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 0.80 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
