Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 11 matches (+4.4)
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 22 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 11 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (State competition 11 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.22 per match at 60.5, economy 6.37, strike rate 57.0.
