Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 6 matches (+0.9)
- ● Body of work — 7 imported matches (+0.1)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 39.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 7 matches (0.86 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 1 · 4th grade 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
- Keeping: 5 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 1.00 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 3 matches bowled in (of 7 played) — 0.86 per match at 20.7, economy 3.65, strike rate 34.0.
