Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 28% 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 12.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 26 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 26 matches — 0.92 per match at 12.6, economy 4.47, strike rate 16.9.
