Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.73 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 17.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 33 matches (0.73 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.21 per match at 17.4, economy 5.24, strike rate 20.0.
