- ● Premier or state pathway — 49 matches (+10.0)
- ● Body of work — 50 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 13.2 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
25 of 44 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.80.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 50 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 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
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 33 · 2nd grade 16 · Club 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: 18 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.87 per match at 22.7, economy 3.80, strike rate 35.9.
