Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
0.85 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 139.
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 47 matches (0.85 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 24 catches + 6 stumpings + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.74 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,193 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 32.5, strike rate 77.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 53.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
