Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 3 matches (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.78 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 175.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 23 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.91 per match.
- Batting
- 768 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 33.3, strike rate 73.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.63 per match at 15.1, economy 3.05, strike rate 29.7.
