Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.19 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.37 per match at 16.6, economy 5.49, strike rate 18.1.
