Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 20 matches (+3.0)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.1 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 49 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 17% 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 3.48.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (Club 5 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 4.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 49 matches — 1.29 per match at 20.1, economy 3.48, strike rate 34.7.
