Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
30 of 39 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 149.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,093 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 27.8, strike rate 69.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.35 per match at 20.3, economy 3.61, strike rate 33.8.
