Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 123.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 39 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 916 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 24.7, strike rate 55.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
