Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 10 matches (+1.5)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 50 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 1.2 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
