Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
7 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.15 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 133.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 13 matches (1.15 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 45 × 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 13). 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
- Keeping: 11 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 1.15 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 240 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 20.0, strike rate 133.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 14.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
