Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.31 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.04 catches per match over 47 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 31.9 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 129.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.04 per match.
- Batting
- 808 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 31.9, strike rate 129.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 20 wickets from 61.0 overs across 41 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.43 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
