- ● Premier or state pathway — 7 matches (+2.8)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 4.4 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 50 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 18% 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 14.2.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 4.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.96 per match at 14.2, economy 4.11, strike rate 20.7.
