Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
13 of 26 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 38 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 74 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 807 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 30.2, strike rate 76.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 144.8 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.69 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
