Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.41 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.04.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 46 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 43 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 573 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 21.0, strike rate 64.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
