- ● Premier or state pathway — 13 matches (+5.2)
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.37 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 43 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 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
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 4 stumpings + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.47 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.35 per match at 18.6, economy 4.52, strike rate 24.7.
