Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
10 of 20 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 94 wickets in 53 matches — 1.77 per match at 13.4, economy 3.67, strike rate 21.9.
