Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
- ● Genuine all-rounder — strong in both disciplines (+8)
Critical recommendations
10 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.58 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 61.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 124.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.09.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 26 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 71 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 931 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 61.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
