Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
17 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 49.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 134.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 89 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,130 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 49.0, strike rate 79.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.72 per match at 41.1, economy 4.44, strike rate 55.6.
