Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 7 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.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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 12). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 36.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.55 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
