Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 39 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.4 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.11 is excellent but a wicket every 60 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.18 dismissals per match across 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 38 · 2nd grade 1). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 2.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.23 per match at 30.9, economy 3.11, strike rate 59.6.
