Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
11 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.79 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 19 matches (0.79 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 70 × 40% · Batting 42 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 14 catches + 6 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 19 matches — 1.16 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 362 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 25.1, strike rate 69.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
