Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.7 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
6 of 9 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 54% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 2.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 18 matches — 1.56 per match at 17.4, economy 4.02, strike rate 25.9.
