Representative pathway — 5 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 23 matches (+3.4)
- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 45 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.85 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.22 dismissals per match across 68 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 45 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 22). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.16 per match at 20.1, economy 2.85, strike rate 42.3.
