Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.5 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 25 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 32% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 53 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 53). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 6.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.16 per match at 17.0, economy 3.72, strike rate 27.4.
