- ● Premier or state pathway — 8 matches (+3.2)
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.7 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 29 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 12% 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 15.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.51 for the level played (State competition 8 · Club 21). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 9.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.96 per match at 15.7, economy 4.05, strike rate 23.2.
