- ● Premier or state pathway — 10 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 10 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
6 of 12 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Economy of 2.59 is excellent but a wicket every 82 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.92 for the level played (State competition 10). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 27.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.38 per match at 35.3, economy 2.59, strike rate 82.0.
