Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.5 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Economy of 2.82 is excellent but a wicket every 78 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 22 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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
- ×0.58 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 10). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 39.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.30 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
