- ● Regional representative — 7 matches (+1.1)
- ● Body of work — 68 imported matches (+1.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 37 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 68 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 24% 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 5 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 32 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.77 per match at 19.1, economy 4.50, strike rate 25.4.
