Batting Working on Basics
not rated — working on basics
Bowling
Not enough data

Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating

  • ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)

Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 35.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

23 of 28 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 33 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 32 innings at 26.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 18.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
