Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 15 matches (+2.2)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
4 of 7 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.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 23 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 36 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 10 catches + 11 stumpings + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 23 matches — 1.04 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 237 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 50.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 10.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
