Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 46.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 742 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 17.2, strike rate 46.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.57 per match at 18.0, economy 3.80, strike rate 28.4.
