Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.4 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.20 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.21 dismissals per match across 38 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 12.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.49 per match at 23.6, economy 3.20, strike rate 44.3.
