Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 2 matches (+0.3)
- ● Body of work — 11 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.09 catches per match over 11 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 128.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 11). 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: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- 234 runs in 9 innings, adjusted average 26.0, strike rate 128.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.25 per match at 19.4, economy 3.03, strike rate 38.4.
