Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 54.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 150.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.16.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 30 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 87 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,307 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 54.4, strike rate 62.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
