Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
7 of 14 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.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 14 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 325 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 74.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
