Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 34 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 53 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.23 for the level played (Club 11 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.93 per match at 26.2, economy 5.38, strike rate 29.2.
