Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 19 matches (+2.9)
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 51 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 45 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.21 for the level played (Club 3 · 5th grade and below 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.00 per match at 29.1, economy 3.44, strike rate 50.7.
