Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.38 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 146.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.38.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 476 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 27.5, strike rate 96.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.14 per match at 21.3, economy 2.38, strike rate 53.8.
