Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Premier or state pathway — 3 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 30 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.86 per match at 20.5, economy 4.31, strike rate 28.5.
