Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 60 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.9 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 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 15.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 60 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.24 per match at 15.2, economy 4.91, strike rate 18.6.
