- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 39 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
14 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 45.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 90.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 105.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 86 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 8 run outs (7 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 999 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 45.5, strike rate 90.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.27 per match at 19.9, economy 4.14, strike rate 28.8.
