Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.38 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 40 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 3 stumpings + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.68 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 19.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 24.3 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
