Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 56 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 38.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.95 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 56 matches (0.95 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 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 56). 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: 49 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.95 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 22.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 6.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
