Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 18 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.95 is excellent but a wicket every 46 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.89 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 18 matches (0.89 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 90 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (Club 10 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 6). 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: 16 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 1.11 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.82 per match at 22.4, economy 2.95, strike rate 45.6.
