Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
10 of 15 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.
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.
0.67 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 36 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 84 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 10 run outs (8 direct, 2 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.83 per match.
- Batting
- 577 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 65.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 36 matches — 0.64 per match at 19.7, economy 4.02, strike rate 29.4.
