Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
8 of 11 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 122.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 1 Nov 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 12 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 343 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 31.0, strike rate 79.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
