Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 33% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.30 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 23 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.30 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 27.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
