Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 56.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

4 of 5 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

Strengths

  • ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 6 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.57 per match.
Batting
103 runs in 6 innings, adjusted average 20.0, strike rate 56.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
8 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 1.33 per match at 20.8, economy 4.05, strike rate 30.8.
