Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.00 catches per match over 40 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 15% 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 118.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.61.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.05 per match.
- Batting
- 757 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 21.4, strike rate 118.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 40 matches — 1.48 per match at 16.8, economy 3.61, strike rate 27.8.
