Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 44 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 786 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 56.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.89 per match at 22.1, economy 3.81, strike rate 34.8.
