Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.7 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 21 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.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Out for 0 in 32% 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 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 65 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 4.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.64 per match at 16.9, economy 3.77, strike rate 26.9.
