Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 16 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 18 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 18 matches — 0.89 per match at 20.8, economy 3.77, strike rate 33.0.
