Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (20.2) beats batting average (16.3) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 15 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 3 · Club 12). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 216 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 16.3, strike rate 67.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.29 per match at 20.2, economy 4.94, strike rate 24.6.
