Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 52 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 69 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.5 over 39 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 69 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
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 13 · Rep Div 1 15 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 23 · Club 2 · 4th grade 2). 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: 9 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 62 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.19 per match at 23.6, economy 3.84, strike rate 36.8.
