Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.13 catches per match over 40 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 134.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- 1,152 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 32.7, strike rate 88.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.19 per match at 20.0, economy 3.20, strike rate 37.5.
