Representative pathway — 19 pathway points in the overall rating

- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 16 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.59 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 16 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.98 for the level played (National competition 10 · 1st grade 6). 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
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 402 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 32.2, strike rate 112.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 4 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.25 per match at 31.0, economy 3.59, strike rate 51.8.
