- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 4 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations

Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
