Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 26% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 39 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · 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 39). 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
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 606 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 16.0, strike rate 87.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 21.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
