Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 142.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 89 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 1,262 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 40.9, strike rate 61.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.76 per match at 32.1, economy 4.49, strike rate 42.9.
