Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 16 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.4 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 30 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.
Out for 0 in 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 16 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 5.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 62 matches — 1.03 per match at 18.8, economy 3.74, strike rate 30.1.
