Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.8 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.48 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 10.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.96.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 44 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 44). 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: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 94 wickets in 44 matches — 2.14 per match at 10.8, economy 2.96, strike rate 21.9.
