Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 113.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 806 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 35.4, strike rate 50.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.20 per match at 18.6, economy 4.26, strike rate 26.1.
