Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 9 matches (+1.3)
- ● Body of work — 35 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.7 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 30 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 35 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 9 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.31 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
