Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 28 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.96 per match at 24.1, economy 4.67, strike rate 31.0.
