- ● Premier or state pathway — 18 matches (+7.2)
- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 57 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 16% 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 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.76 per match at 31.9, economy 4.32, strike rate 44.4.
