Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 148 imported matches (+3.0)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.18 dismissals per match across 148 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 143.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 26 × 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 24 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 148 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
3,682 runs in 145 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 44.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
232 wickets in 140 matches bowled in (of 148 played) — 1.66 per match at 19.2, economy 3.71, strike rate 31.1.
