- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 49 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.1 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.12 catches per match over 49 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 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 44). 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
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 7.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.78 per match at 17.6, economy 3.84, strike rate 27.5.
