The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 70 balls (SR 71), then 50 to 100 in just 54 (SR 93) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 53 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
34 of 45 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.37 is excellent but a wicket every 88 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 53 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 10 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 25.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.50 per match at 49.6, economy 3.37, strike rate 88.3.
