Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 67 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
25 of 45 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.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 67 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 55). 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: 20 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 999 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 20.7, strike rate 62.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 63.5 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
