- ● Premier or state pathway — 16 matches (+6.4)
- ● Body of work — 37 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 37 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.58 for the level played (2nd grade 16 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.15 per match at 15.5, economy 3.89, strike rate 23.9.
