Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
13 of 24 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.
1.2 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 41 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 41). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 575 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 20.7, strike rate 86.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.85 per match at 9.8, economy 3.48, strike rate 16.9.
