Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 56 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.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.71 per match at 32.4, economy 4.53, strike rate 42.9.
