Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 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 23% 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 16 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 32.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.82 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
