- ● Premier or state pathway — 30 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 14 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.68 is excellent but a wicket every 76 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 30 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 9 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 30). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.42 per match at 46.7, economy 3.68, strike rate 76.2.
