Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 9 matches (+1.3)
- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 15 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 311 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 61.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.10 per match at 18.9, economy 3.79, strike rate 29.9.
