Representative pathway — 13 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 29 matches (+10.0)
- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.45 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 53 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.73 for the level played (1st grade 25 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,275 runs in 55 innings, adjusted average 25.3, strike rate 100.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.87 per match at 24.7, economy 3.45, strike rate 43.0.
