Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 10 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.
Economy of 2.16 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.53 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 14.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.16.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 15 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.25 per match at 14.9, economy 2.16, strike rate 41.3.
