Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Body of work — 25 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 25 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 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 25). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.92 per match at 20.5, economy 4.21, strike rate 29.2.
