Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.1 over 27 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% 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 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 40). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 13.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.33 per match at 15.3, economy 3.63, strike rate 25.3.
