Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.07 is excellent but a wicket every 68 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.21 dismissals per match across 28 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 41.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 173.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 38 × 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 28). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 1,004 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 41.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.86 per match at 34.8, economy 3.07, strike rate 67.9.
