Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.00 catches per match over 18 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 15 · 4th grade 1). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 267 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 50.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.29 per match at 15.7, economy 3.86, strike rate 24.3.
