Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 25 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 23 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 26.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
