Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
4 of 8 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 10 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 140 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 16.8, strike rate 120.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 28.2 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
