Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.11 catches per match over 36 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
19 of 27 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 191.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 87 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.11 per match.
- Batting
- 897 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 31.8, strike rate 87.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.91 per match at 23.8, economy 4.61, strike rate 31.0.
