Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 5.6 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 4 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

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 8 innings at 5.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
7 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.78 per match at 14.1, economy 3.00, strike rate 28.3.
