Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 11 matches (+4.4)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 24 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 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.39 per match at 31.0, economy 5.37, strike rate 34.7.
