Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
15 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 98.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 613 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 98.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.17 per match at 14.3, economy 4.17, strike rate 20.6.
