Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 4 matches (+0.6)
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (30.2) beats batting average (25.1) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 19 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.84 per match.
- Batting
- 502 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 25.1, strike rate 74.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.12 per match at 30.2, economy 4.76, strike rate 38.0.
