Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 26 matches (+3.9)
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 26 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.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.76.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 9 · 4th grade 13 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 26 matches — 2.00 per match at 16.1, economy 2.76, strike rate 34.9.
