Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 3 matches (+0.4)
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 59 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 55 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 793 runs in 59 innings, adjusted average 14.4, strike rate 106.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 17.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
