Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Going at 8.17 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Bowling average (38.4) beats batting average (32.4) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.4.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 124.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 389 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 32.4, strike rate 100.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.62 per match at 38.4, economy 8.17, strike rate 28.2.
