- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Regional representative — 1 match (+0.1)
- ● Body of work — 14 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.6 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.43 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 14 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 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 1 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 5). 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: 4 catches + 2 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 8.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 8.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.43 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
