- ● Premier or state pathway — 44 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 62 imported matches (+1.2)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.2 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 25 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 41 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 13). 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: 12 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 0.98 per match at 19.9, economy 5.14, strike rate 23.2.
