Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.5 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2.0 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 7.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 21.0 overs across 7 matches — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
