Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 14 matches (+5.6)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 50 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 14 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Rep Div 2 4 · Club 36). 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
- Keeping: 15 catches + 14 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.60 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 54.0 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
