Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
5 of 6 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 11 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
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 35.8 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 108.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 271 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 35.8, strike rate 108.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 11 matches — 1.73 per match at 11.7, economy 2.98, strike rate 23.5.
