Representative pathway — 11 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 28 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 44 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.21 is excellent but a wicket every 58 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 44 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 16). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 330 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 15.0, strike rate 57.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.02 per match at 31.0, economy 3.21, strike rate 57.8.
