Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Going at 7.92 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.23 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 114.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 14 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 616 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 114.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.16 per match at 18.4, economy 7.92, strike rate 13.9.
