Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.4 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 10 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 13 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 2 stumpings + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.92 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 7.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
