Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 31 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 162.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 31 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 928 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 31.7, strike rate 53.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.23 per match at 24.6, economy 4.30, strike rate 34.3.
