Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 45 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 30 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.71 per match at 26.9, economy 4.28, strike rate 37.8.
