Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
3 of 6 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 10 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.
Economy of 2.18 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.2.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 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 10). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 200 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 31.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 1.25 per match at 15.9, economy 2.18, strike rate 43.8.
