Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 44 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 13% 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 16.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.18 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.76 per match at 16.9, economy 4.09, strike rate 24.8.
