Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.4 over 6 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
2 of 4 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 1 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 6 innings at 8.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.69 per match at 19.9, economy 4.79, strike rate 24.9.
