Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 4 matches (+0.6)
- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.11 catches per match over 19 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.
Economy of 3.61 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 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 (Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 4 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 27.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.94 per match at 27.8, economy 3.61, strike rate 46.1.
