Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 30 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.07 catches per match over 30 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 30). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 428 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 19.9, strike rate 88.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.05 per match at 18.7, economy 3.13, strike rate 35.8.
