Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.8 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.25 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 22 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 8.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.82 per match at 26.5, economy 3.25, strike rate 48.9.
