Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.09 catches per match over 23 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 157.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.07.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.13 per match.
- Batting
- 395 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 26.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.43 per match at 19.5, economy 3.07, strike rate 38.2.
