Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 31 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.42 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 15.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 31 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 31). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.36 per match at 15.7, economy 4.11, strike rate 23.0.
