Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 1 match (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 54 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.22 dismissals per match across 54 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 179.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 34 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 53). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 1,103 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 20.8, strike rate 62.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 101.3 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.39 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
