Representative pathway — 0 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 4 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 41.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.71 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 44.4 (frequently not out).
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 4 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 80 runs in 3 innings, adjusted average 44.4, strike rate 41.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 6.8 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 4 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
