Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 34.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 43 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 22.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 31.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
