Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.2 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 12 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 57 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 4.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 80 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.45 per match at 15.3, economy 3.43, strike rate 26.9.
