Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 23 matches (+3.4)
- ● Body of work — 51 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.45 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 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 51 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 1,012 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 26.4, strike rate 48.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.12 per match at 21.0, economy 3.89, strike rate 32.3.
