Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
21 of 34 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.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 38 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 13 catches + 1 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.47 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 952 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 27.9, strike rate 93.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
