Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 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 10.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 17 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 17). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 1.44 per match at 10.7, economy 3.40, strike rate 18.8.
