- ● Premier or state pathway — 10 matches (+4.0)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.2 over 12 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.46 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 11.6.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 13 matches (1.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 9 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 19 catches + 1 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 1.62 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 3 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.69 per match at 11.6, economy 4.33, strike rate 16.0.
