Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 13 matches (+1.9)
- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 11 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.
Only 0.07 catches per match over 41 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.43 per match at 15.7, economy 3.47, strike rate 27.2.
