Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 23 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 0.14 catches per match over 28 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 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.11.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 23). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.52 per match at 13.3, economy 3.11, strike rate 25.7.
