Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.2 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% 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 10.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 48 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 48). 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: 19 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.85 per match at 10.9, economy 4.37, strike rate 14.9.
