Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 50 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 50). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.46 per match at 15.5, economy 3.74, strike rate 24.9.
