Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 20 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 20 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 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.50.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 20 matches — 1.00 per match at 17.7, economy 3.50, strike rate 30.3.
