Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.2 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 12 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 8). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.82 per match at 22.9, economy 3.55, strike rate 38.7.
