Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
15 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.50 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 16.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 32 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- 511 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 25.0, strike rate 70.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 32 matches — 1.62 per match at 16.6, economy 4.08, strike rate 24.4.
