Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.51 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.51.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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 20). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.00 per match at 31.0, economy 3.51, strike rate 52.9.
