The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 41 balls (SR 122), then 50 to 100 in just 30 (SR 167) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 53 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 20 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 31 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 100 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 29 catches + 31 stumpings + 20 run outs (3 direct, 17 assisted) in 53 matches — 1.51 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,101 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 67.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 29.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
