Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 31 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.
0.29 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (State competition 5 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.35 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.27 per match at 17.0, economy 4.93, strike rate 20.7.
