Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 11 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 11). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.57 per match at 9.2, economy 3.06, strike rate 18.0.
