Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
28 of 55 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.
0.40 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 128.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 57 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 17 catches + 6 stumpings + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.46 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,310 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 80.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
