Representative pathway — 12 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 27 matches (+10.0)
- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.15 dismissals per match across 55 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.12 per match at 31.0, economy 4.58, strike rate 40.6.
