Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 39 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.59 per match at 14.8, economy 2.55, strike rate 34.8.
