Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
14 of 16 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 26 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 11 catches + 1 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.62 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 15.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.27 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
