Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
1.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 14 matches (1.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 90 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 14 matches — 1.71 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 5.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
