Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 39.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.17 dismissals per match across 42 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 (Rep Div 2 1 · Club 41). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 25.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.05 per match at 8.6, economy 3.38, strike rate 15.3.
