Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 22 matches (+3.3)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 14% 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.
Economy of 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 49 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 773 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 86.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.91 per match at 24.7, economy 3.41, strike rate 43.4.
