Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
19 of 27 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 34 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 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 34). 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
- Keeping: 12 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.38 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 70.2 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
