Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
12 of 17 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 33% 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 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.54 per match at 27.4, economy 5.24, strike rate 31.4.
