Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 22 matches (+3.3)
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.5 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 17 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 36% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.16 dismissals per match across 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 15 · 4th grade 9 · 5th grade and below 13). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 2.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 76 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 2.30 per match at 15.8, economy 3.01, strike rate 31.4.
