Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 35 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.22.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 44 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 73 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.22 for the level played (Club 9 · 4th grade 12 · 5th grade and below 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.34 per match.
