Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 60 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.42 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 32 catches in 60 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.42 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 40.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
