Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
5 of 5 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
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 105.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 130 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 105.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 12 matches — 1.83 per match at 13.3, economy 3.23, strike rate 24.8.
