Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.7 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 11 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.55 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.83 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.55.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 24 matches (0.83 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.92 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.18 per match at 17.3, economy 2.55, strike rate 40.7.
