Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 17 matches (+6.8)
- ● Body of work — 17 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 32.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 17 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 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
- ×0.79 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 4). 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 17 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 7.7 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
