Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 12 matches (+1.8)
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.9 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 5 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.67 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 12 matches (1.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 85 × 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
- ×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 3rd grade 3 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 1.83 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 6.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
