- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)
- ● Body of work — 32 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.9 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 32 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.
Economy of 3.09 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 9 · Club 23). 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: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.12 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 4.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.29 per match at 21.3, economy 3.09, strike rate 41.4.
