Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 18 matches (+2.7)
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
5 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 33.5 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 22 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 3 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.55 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 462 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 33.5, strike rate 77.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
