Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.9 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.29 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 14 matches (1.29 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 88 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 18 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 1.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
