Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 3 matches (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 8 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 18 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.18 per match at 14.0, economy 3.45, strike rate 24.4.
