Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 21 matches (+8.4)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.05 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (25.3) beats batting average (24.0) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 21 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 9 · 4th grade 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: 11 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.76 per match.
- Batting
- 361 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 72.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.92 per match at 25.3, economy 3.05, strike rate 49.9.
