Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 42 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 12% 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.
0.43 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 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 42 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- 810 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 26.8, strike rate 76.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.98 per match at 17.0, economy 3.80, strike rate 26.9.
