Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
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 14.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 42 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 539 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 62.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.15 per match at 14.2, economy 3.91, strike rate 21.9.
