- ● Premier or state pathway — 21 matches (+8.4)
- ● Body of work — 21 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 5.0 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 40% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 21 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 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
- ×0.43 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 19 · 4th grade 1). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.90 per match at 17.0, economy 3.09, strike rate 32.9.
