- ● Premier or state pathway — 5 matches (+2.0)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 36 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 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 5 · Club 31). 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: 5 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.71 per match at 17.6, economy 5.02, strike rate 21.1.
