Representative pathway — 4 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 21 matches (+3.1)
- ● Body of work — 28 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 28 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 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 (3rd grade 7 · Club 7 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 7). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 491 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 49.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.77 per match at 47.5, economy 4.01, strike rate 70.9.
