Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.93 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 43 matches (0.93 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 43). 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
- Keeping: 40 catches + 0 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 1.00 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 8.7 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
