Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 22 matches (+3.3)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
37 of 52 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 156.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 24 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (3rd grade 5 · 4th grade 14 · 5th grade and below 3). 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: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 1,349 runs in 55 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 156.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.41 per match at 17.4, economy 3.50, strike rate 29.8.
