Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 36 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 85 × 40% · Batting 72 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 8 stumpings + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.86 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 986 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 27.4, strike rate 74.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
