- ● Premier or state pathway — 6 matches (+2.4)
- ● Body of work — 22 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.6 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 22 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.86 per match at 17.3, economy 3.77, strike rate 27.6.
