- ● Premier or state pathway — 2 matches (+0.8)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.24 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 21 matches (1.24 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 76 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Club 19). 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: 23 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 1.29 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
