Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 30 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 51 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 17 catches + 5 stumpings + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 39.0 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
