Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
13 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 127.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 25 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 42 × 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 25). 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
- Keeping: 11 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 411 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 127.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.40 per match at 14.2, economy 3.63, strike rate 23.5.
