Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 6 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 49.4 (frequently not out).
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 6). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- 113 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 49.4, strike rate 74.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 16.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 0.83 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
