Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.1 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 22 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.
Out for 0 in 25% 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 — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 5.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 28 matches — 0.32 per match at 35.2, economy 4.34, strike rate 48.7.
