Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.62 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.88 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 16 matches (0.88 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · 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 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.88 per match.
- Batting
- 368 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 83.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 35.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
