Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 8 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 5.90 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 8 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 35 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 8). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.88 per match.
- Batting
- 91 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 14.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 20.5 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 0.83 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
