Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 27 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 40 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 (2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 689 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 20.7, strike rate 72.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.16 per match at 22.8, economy 4.19, strike rate 32.6.
