Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.5 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 36% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 14 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 5 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.43 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 136 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 13.5, strike rate 114.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 22.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
