Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
32 of 41 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.41 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 34.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 98.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 119.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 51 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 75 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 1,418 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 34.0, strike rate 98.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 78 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.81 per match at 17.9, economy 4.62, strike rate 23.2.
