Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 26 matches (+3.9)
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.6 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 29 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.12.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.22 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Club 3 · 4th grade 3 · 5th grade and below 22). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.48 per match at 15.8, economy 3.12, strike rate 30.3.
