Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 9 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.47 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 11.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.87.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 34 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
