Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 91.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 38 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 873 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 26.6, strike rate 91.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.94 per match at 14.1, economy 4.00, strike rate 21.2.
