Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 32.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 24 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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 24). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.77 per match at 13.8, economy 3.86, strike rate 21.5.
