Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 33 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 66 imported matches (+1.3)
Critical recommendations
38 of 54 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 168.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 66 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 25 · Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 1,230 runs in 60 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 80.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 7.2 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
