Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 1.2 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

2 of 3 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 17 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
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 17). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 6 innings at 1.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
12 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.92 per match at 19.3, economy 5.31, strike rate 21.8.
