Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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 12.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 22 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 22). 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: 9 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 22 matches — 0.77 per match at 12.9, economy 3.73, strike rate 20.8.
