Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
16 of 31 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.18 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 1 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.22 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 32.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
