Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 17 matches (+6.8)
- ● Body of work — 52 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.4 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 52 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.
Out for 0 in 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.06 per match at 17.4, economy 4.43, strike rate 23.6.
