Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating

Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 32 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.
1.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 70 catches in 46 matches (1.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 99 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 26 · 3rd grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 50 catches + 11 stumpings + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 46 matches — 1.46 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
