Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 5 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 46 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 32.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 23 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 46 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (Club 35 · 5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.26 per match at 23.1, economy 3.66, strike rate 37.8.
