Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.78 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 32 matches (0.78 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 2.00 per match at 17.1, economy 3.35, strike rate 30.5.
