Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
8 of 13 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 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 18 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 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
- ×0.56 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 3 · Club 11). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 6.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
