Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 35). 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
- Keeping: 3 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.14 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 71.0 overs across 25 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.48 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
