Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
12 of 16 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 106.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 24 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 619 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 37.1, strike rate 76.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.20 per match at 20.8, economy 3.83, strike rate 32.6.
