Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 20 matches (+8.0)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.7 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
13 of 23 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 20 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 6.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.66 per match at 19.5, economy 3.25, strike rate 35.9.
