Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 65 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.75 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 51 catches in 68 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 35 catches + 3 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.59 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 767 runs in 65 innings, adjusted average 12.5, strike rate 59.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.28 per match at 19.0, economy 4.93, strike rate 23.1.
