- ● Premier or state pathway — 12 matches (+4.8)
- ● Body of work — 12 imported matches (+0.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 3.0 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 9 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.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 15 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12). 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 12 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 3.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 3 wickets in 12 matches — 0.25 per match at 54.3, economy 4.18, strike rate 78.0.
