Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 6.65 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.49 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 — 13 catches in 35 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 16 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 11 catches + 6 stumpings + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.66 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.61 per match at 24.7, economy 6.65, strike rate 22.3.
