- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 17 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
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.
0.19 dismissals per match across 48 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.70 per match at 18.0, economy 4.39, strike rate 24.6.
