Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.23 dismissals per match across 56 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 56). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 76 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.38 per match at 19.0, economy 3.76, strike rate 30.3.
