Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.45 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 57.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 110.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 6 hundred(s), best of 117.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 29 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 93 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 1,355 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 57.0, strike rate 110.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.82 per match at 22.6, economy 3.83, strike rate 35.3.
