Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 37 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 845 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 25.6, strike rate 58.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.40 per match at 25.4, economy 4.62, strike rate 33.0.
