Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 20 matches (+3.0)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · 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
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.25 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 947 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 27.2, strike rate 63.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
