Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
5 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 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 11.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 16 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.64 per match at 11.4, economy 3.49, strike rate 19.6.
