Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 13 matches (+1.9)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
22 of 31 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 36 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 30.0 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
