Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.28 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.49 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 126.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 68 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 59 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 11 run outs (9 direct, 2 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,464 runs in 72 innings, adjusted average 23.7, strike rate 54.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 69.3 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
