- ● Premier or state pathway — 41 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 1.5 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 41 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 27% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 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
- ×0.71 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 24). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 1.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 1.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
