Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 13 matches (+5.2)
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 28.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
9 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.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 27 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 8 · 2nd grade 5 · Club 14). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 21.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.96 per match at 18.6, economy 4.68, strike rate 23.8.
