Not enough data

Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)

Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 35 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 36 innings at 18.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 17.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
