Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 31 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 31 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 430 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 18.9, strike rate 68.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.63 per match at 16.7, economy 3.89, strike rate 25.8.
