Representative pathway — 3 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 17 matches (+2.5)
- ● Body of work — 23 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 28% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 23 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 74 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (3rd grade 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.91 per match.
- Batting
- 342 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 92.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 2.06 per match at 14.3, economy 3.18, strike rate 27.0.
