Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 52 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 1,018 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 23.5, strike rate 65.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.33 per match at 24.5, economy 5.46, strike rate 26.9.
