Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.34 is excellent but a wicket every 60 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.91 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 23 matches (0.91 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 68 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 18). 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: 14 catches + 5 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.87 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 419 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 78.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.45 per match at 33.2, economy 3.34, strike rate 59.6.
