Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.9.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 95.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 717 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 33.9, strike rate 95.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.94 per match at 26.1, economy 4.86, strike rate 32.3.
