Representative pathway — 7 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 16 matches (+6.4)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.3 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 48 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 31% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.74.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 2 16 · Club 32). 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: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.78 per match at 9.5, economy 2.74, strike rate 20.9.
