Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.45.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 20 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.70 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 21.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 20 matches — 1.60 per match at 12.8, economy 2.45, strike rate 31.3.
