Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 14 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 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.27 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.22 dismissals per match across 36 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.88 per match at 28.4, economy 3.27, strike rate 52.0.
