Representative pathway — 8 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 10 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.4 over 9 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 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
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 3). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 41.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.89 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
