Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
20 of 36 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.
1.4 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 56 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 17 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 25 catches + 4 stumpings + 17 run outs (4 direct, 13 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.82 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 56.7 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.35 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
